Former Michigan Coach Sherrone Moore Charged with Home Invasion and Stalking

Sherrone Moore, the former head coach of the University of Michigan football team, has been charged with felony third-degree home invasion and two misdemeanors: stalking in a domestic relationship and breaking and entering. These charges follow allegations that Moore unlawfully entered the residence of a woman with whom he had a prior relationship, threatened self-harm, and engaged in harassing behavior.

The University of Michigan terminated Moore's employment on December 10, 2025, citing "credible evidence" of an inappropriate relationship with a staff member, which violated university policy.

According to court proceedings, Moore allegedly entered the woman's home, armed himself with kitchen knives, and made threats of self-harm, stating, "I'm going to kill myself, I'm going to make you watch. My blood is on your hands."

Moore appeared in court via video conference, where bond was set at $25,000 cash surety. Conditions of his release include wearing a GPS monitor, refraining from contact with the alleged victim, and continuing mental health treatment.

The University of Michigan has expanded its investigation into Moore's conduct, with the possibility of scrutinizing the entire athletic department.

Moore, 39, had served as head coach since January 2024, leading the Wolverines to a 9-3 season. Assistant coach Biff Poggi has been appointed interim head coach as the team prepares for the upcoming Citrus Bowl against the University of Texas on December 31.
